About This Item
University of California Press, 2003. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. Family association copy, inscribed on the front end free paper: "To Aunt Olive, a fellow author, John Richards." An absolute tome of a book, "a sweeping work of environmental history [about] humanity's profound impact on the natural world in the early modern period [1500-1800 CE]." Richards was Professor of History at Duke University, and a recipient in 2007 of the Distinguished Contributions to Asian Studies Award. He died in 2007. Fine book, in a near fine jacket because of some light wear to the upper edges of the jacket, in particular some curling/crinkling to the top of the rear flap. Presents well, and scarce signed. We invited you to explore our growing, dedicated collection of signed and inscribed climate change books, including many association copies.

About Rural Hours
Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
